"Miss Lan, are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to stew some nutritious porridge and some easily digestible snacks. You have slept for so long, so warm up your stomach first!" Zhang Yan said, looking at Lan Ziye with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Who are you?" Lan Ziye looked confused.

"I was sent from the old house to look after the eldest young master!" Zhang Yan said as she walked into the house. "The housekeeper said the eldest young master had enough manpower, so he sent me here! If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

"Were you just transferred here this morning?" Lan Ziye asked with a frown.

What? Is this a shelter? Why is she stuffing all the people Chu Xixuan doesn't want into her place?

Zhang Yan was slightly startled and said awkwardly, "I've actually been at the Chu family for several days. I received the news that I was assigned here yesterday!" After a pause, she explained, "I had some personal matters to attend to yesterday, so I asked for leave from Aunt Zhang. That's why you didn't see me!"

Lan Ziye then remembered why this girl looked so familiar. Wasn’t she the maid who brought medicine to Chu Xixuan?

"Didn't Aunt Zhang introduce two personal maids to me yesterday? Where are those two maids?" Lan Ziye instinctively disliked Zhang Yan and asked with a stern face.

"Maid?" Zhang Yan was a little confused, but she reacted instantly and smiled, "You mean Xiao Zi and Xiao Hong? The three maids who do odd jobs are too busy, so Aunt Zhang asked them to help!"

Lan Ziye looked unhappy. The newcomer didn't help and was doing things that were not her job, but the two personal maids, Xiaohong and Xiaozi, went to help. What was going on?

In Lan Ziye's opinion, Xiao Zi and Xiao Hong should be the head maids of the household, similar to Xiao Cui who served her back then, while those who cleaned the house and did odd jobs were considered sweeping maids, belonging to the lower ranks. According to the old Lan family rules, the head maids would always be accompanied by several younger maids, but Xiao Cui had always followed him around, so he hadn't given her a younger maid. Now, look what a mess, the head maids had to help the lower-ranking maids, and this person who appeared out of nowhere ran into her room to serve. Did he really think there were no rules here?

Zhang Yan, however, seemed oblivious to Lan Ziye's dissatisfaction. She continued to enthusiastically place the bowls of porridge on the bedside table one by one. She then personally scooped some porridge for Lan Ziye and handed the bowl to Lan Ziye, saying, "Miss, please enjoy!"

Lan Ziye glanced at Zhang Yan coldly and said, "Let Xiao Zi and Xiao Hong do this kind of thing in the future! As for you..." Lan Ziye thought for a moment and said, "You go out first!"

"Ah?" Zhang Yan was stunned. She didn't expect that she had done everything so thoughtfully and been so humble, but Lan Ziye was still so indifferent to her. A fire was burning in her heart, but when she thought about the decision she made in the morning, she suppressed the anger, forced a smile and said, "Yes!" After that, she walked towards the door reluctantly.

"By the way, call Xiaohong and Xiaozi over, and tell Aunt Zhang that Xiaohong and Xiaozi are responsible for taking care of me, and it will no longer be her responsibility." Lan Ziye said coldly.

"But, Aunt Zhang said..." Zhang Yan turned to look at Lan Ziye and said, "There are only three servants to do chores, and they really can't handle it!"

"I'm too busy, let Aunt Zhang come and talk to me herself. This has nothing to do with you!" Lan Ziye's voice became even colder.

"Yes!" Zhang Yan responded aggrievedly and left the room.

Soon, Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi arrived. Both were sweating profusely, their hair wet and drooping on their foreheads. They panted and asked, "Miss, are you looking for us?"
